DelegateHelpers

DelegateHelpers provides small helpers for invoking delegates while handling exceptions in a predictable way.

Try(Action)

Try(Action) executes an action and returns whether it completed successfully. All exceptions are caught and suppressed.

using Garyon.Functions;

if (!DelegateHelpers.Try(() => DoRiskyThing()))
{
    // Handle failure (logging, fallback, etc.)
}

Try(Func, defaultValue)

Try<T>(Func<T>, T? defaultValue = default) returns the function result, or defaultValue when an exception is thrown.

using Garyon.Functions;

int value = DelegateHelpers.Try(() => int.Parse(userInput), defaultValue: -1) ?? -1;

Notes

These helpers suppress all exceptions. Prefer targeted handling when you can, and use these only where it is intentional to treat failures as "best effort".
